Wiltshire Police warn festive revellers to avoid legal highs
11:05am Friday 20th December 2013 in Wiltshire
Wiltshire Police are warning partygoers to avoid taking legal highs this festive season.
During the Christmas period, more people are likely to be offered legal highs or new psychoactive substances (NPS).
Many of the chemicals used in these substances have not been tested and so their effects are not known.
Three substances in particular have been flagged as being in circulation in the Swindon area.
These are: MDVP: This is in the form of white powder and is not actually legal at all. This is a Class B drug. This drug is in the same family as Mephedrone so is a powerful and long acting stimulant drug.
PVP: This is sold locally in crystal form. PVP is a schedule 1 controlled drug in many countries after several deaths being attributed directly to it.
ETIZOLAM: This is quite a well researched drug and an analogue of Benzo's - so it tries to copy its effect. If you mix this with other drugs including alcohol, the risk of an overdose increases massively and there have been deaths linked to this. In the UK this year alone, 52 people have died after using NPS drugs.
Inspector Paul Saunders said: "Even though these drugs might not be illegal, it is still very difficult to know exactly what is in them and the affect they might have on an individual.
"I would urge everyone to steer clear of illegal drugs of every variety and legal highs as the associated risks simply are not fully known.
"We want people to have a safe and enjoyable Christmas and this is encouraged by limiting the risks that are taken.
"If people are intent on taking legal highs we urge them to not use them alone, not to mix with alcohol and seek medical attention immediately if you begin to feel unwell.
"I would also ask that anyone with information as to where these substances are being sold to contact us straight away."
Information should be directed to Wiltshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.
Advice and support is also available from CRI - the drugs and alcohol abuse charity based in Swindon.
They can be contacted on (01793) 611 870 or by visiting their centre at Plaza 1, Sanford Street, Swindon, SN1 1HE.

Whether a rancher grows hay to feed his livestock or someone else's, the enterprise isn't worthwhile unless it makes money.
Fertilizer purchases don't hurt as much today as they did a year ago, but they're still high enough to warrant wise econo-misering.
Just the hint of a breeze off the southern tip of the Ozark Mountains holds the promise of changing seasons as cattle producers Steve and Shari Swenson look toward winter.
When the price of fuel, fertilizer and feed went through the roof three years ago, a group of University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture experts went back to basics to help struggling cattle producers manage their costs.
Late summer can be an excellent time to establish forage crops, provided there is sufficient moisture for germination and good seedling growth. It is also a good time to seed bare or thin spots in spring-established forage stands. The following steps will improve the chances for successful late-summer forage stand establishment. These guidelines come from Steve Barnhart, Iowa State University Extension forage agronomist.
Soil potassium takes years to build up, but it only takes a few growing seasons to become depleted when growing alfalfa. Fertilizer prices have increased steadily over the past decade, but when they reached record highs prior to the 2008 growing season, farmers started looking for ways to reduce fertilizer expenses. Every farm seemed to have a different strategy, but many significantly reduced potassium applications to alfalfa, corn and soybeans.
It's important to understand how grasses grow so you can better manage them. In this column, I will talk only about cool-season grasses such as ryegrass, tall fescue, orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, timothy and reed canarygrass, and not warm-season grasses — bermudagrass, bahiagrass and switchgrass, for example.
As the summer draws to a close, farmers often find they have made some good hay and some not-so-good hay, because of rain delay, less legume than expected or other reasons. They often don't test the lesser-quality hay and simply feed it to heifers or other animals. This can be a big mistake!
With the end of summer in sight, alfalfa growers have two primary things to think about when evaluating their forage needs and alfalfa stands in the fall:
Taylor County, Texas, producer Jerry Little juggles his own manufacturing business in town — which by itself requires considerable travel — along with his hay farms. Somehow he makes both ventures work.
Jerry Little expects to get at least four cuttings of coastal bermuda-grass hay per season for both round and square bales.
Timely corn silage harvest is critical to producing high-quality forage for best livestock performance. To determine the right time for harvesting, you need to diligently monitor the corn's moisture content.
As the debate about genetically modified crops continues to swirl around forage producers, agriculture researchers are refining gene modification techniques to improve forage quality. The most recent is reduced lignin, or RL, alfalfa.
Many of us carefully select corn hybrids and soybean varieties, but choose alfalfa varieties based on price, marketer, etc., rather than performance. Yet, the differences among alfalfa varieties are at least as great as those of corn and soybeans.
With the wet spring weather the past couple of years, many farmers have had problems getting spring-seeded forages established. Some of the resulting stands of alfalfa, for example, aren't very good.
It's late summer already. Kids are going back to school, and soon fall will be in the air. It's also a prime time to seed alfalfa.
When to make the first cutting of alfalfa and mixed alfalfa/grass hay sets the stage for the rest of the year.
When making haylage or baleage (above 50% moisture), farmers depend on two factors to preserve the forage: absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions) and fermentation that produces organic acids (lactic and acetic acids).
With Texas' record number of 100-degree-plus days and historic drought this year, it has been so hot for so long it's hard to even imagine cooler temperatures finally will return. But they will — eventually.
An inexpensive hay test can offer the best guidance as to how much supplemental feed is required for a beef cattle herd, and at the same time, save ranchers money, says a Texas AgriLife Research scientist.
For the second year in a row select hay samples from the Morgan County Fair were subjected to the ultimate judge — forage analysis. The idea was to repeat the experiment from last year, where bales selected by the judge were tested to see how tough it is to judge hay by looking. Several 4-H'ers at county fairs had never heard of forage testing.
Chris Parker doesn't care if only a few people take the time to test their forages. He still beats the drum, saying it's a tool that's not used enough by those who spend thousands of dollars for hay.
Whether you do it by looks, feel and smell, or whether you ask for a forage test if you're buying hay, you need to know if you're getting your money's worth before you buy the first bale.
Monty and Bobbie Jo Williams — and a silent partner who does not want to be identified — have made many improvements in recent years to the ranch that they operate together, and have increased its carrying capacity by 40%.
Editor's note: I judged 50 4-H hay exhibits at the 2010 Morgan County fair. To see how visual judging paired up with actual value, I asked Chris Parker to core-sample various flakes. Parker sent samples to Litchfield Analytical Services, Litchfield, Mich., for near-infrared (NIR) analysis.
The secret to making good hay is curing it correctly, then forming windrows that allow even feed into the baler. You need good tools that won't knock off too many valuable leaves, yet make windrows of the right size and shape for good baling.
It's been an unusual winter — warmer than most and not much snow cover. Although winter was mild, you should still get out and evaluate alfalfa fields, mixed hay fields, pastures and other perennial forage plants. Now is the time to do it, says Steve Barnhart, Iowa State University Extension forage agronomist.
A farm family who raises Angus seedstock and puts most of their farm acres into commercial hay production was named winner of the Iowa Cattlemen's Association's Environmental Stewardship Award Program for 2012. Greg and Lola Wood and son Chris operate BitterSweet Acres, near Greenville in Clay County in northwest Iowa.
Silage worries have had producers asking a bunch of questions this spring.
Dale Duggan is meticulous in growing — and harvesting — hay in an efficient manner at Ballinger, Texas. Duggan puts down 107 pounds of 20-20-0-12 per acre to meet the nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur needs for his three-way cross of sorghum-sudan.
Glen Leduc is just one of many farmers who traveled to Iowa from another state to attend the 2012 Hay Expo at the Central Iowa Expo site June 20-21 near Boone. Farmers like Leduc, who raises 200 acres of hay near Edwardsville, Ill., came from parts of the United States where hay production is crucial to other sectors of agriculture — usually horse owners and dairy farmers. "Hay is my specialty crop," says Leduc. "I have a passion for hay."
In drought-stricken areas this year, corn yields may likely end up being measured by tons of forage, not bushels of grain. If you are going to chop or bale droughty corn plants for forage, or chop the crop for silage, what are the risks of causing nitrate poisoning when feeding the forage to cattle?
Late summer can be an excellent time to establish forage crops, provided there is sufficient moisture for germination and good seedling growth. It is also a good time to plant seed in bare or thin spots in forage stands established this spring.
Can the grass that's growing within the right-of-way of state-maintained highways be legally harvested for livestock feed? Yes, during certain periods of the year and with a permit issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation, according to state DOT officials.
Many pastures and hay fields were damaged by the extreme drought conditions of 2012 and are still in recovery mode. What can you do now to help? In the case of hay fields, should you leave the stand for one more year or make a new seeding in another field to replace it? Iowa State University Extension forage agronomist Steve Barnhart suggests some things to think about as you prioritize your management options.
A new option for balers, available just in the past few years, is the bale cutter. This attachment to the front of a baler cuts the hay into shorter lengths. This option is available for round and square balers.
According to the 2007 U.S. Ag Census, more than 11,000 Wisconsin dairy and livestock farms utilize some form of rotational or managed grazing. For dairy herds of all sizes, managed grazing is a flexible practice that can fit into current feed management and forage production strategies. Pasture resources can be managed to provide forage needs of individual groups of lactating cows, dry cows, heifers or the entire herd during the grazing season.
Jim Goggins of Springview knows the value of wet distillers grain with solubles, or WDGS, in his operation. WDGS has been long touted by cattle feeders, and now cow-calf producers like Jim and Shelly Goggins and their son, Coy, are also noticing the advantages, particularly when the cost is 75% to 85% of corn in the summer months.
There, I said it! I prefer grass forages to alfalfa!
Nothing's more exciting than opening a corn silage bunker to see how this year's crop turned out. OK, so maybe there are a few things that might be more exciting.
Too much rain early and too little late squelched both quality and quantity of normal forage sources. For some, "winter hay feeding" started in October. How can you chart a course to survive winter without breaking the bank?
If you're an Indiana forage producer, you know 2010 was challenging. In many parts of Indiana, persistent rains prevented timely harvesting, resulting in poor-quality hay. In parts of southern Indiana, lack of moisture produced a serious lack of quantity.
Don't tell cow-calf producers that February is a short month. February can stretch into weeks of misery, worry and calving-night thoughts of "Why me, Lord?"
Since USDA authorized resumption of the sale of Roundup Ready alfalfa in late January, University of Missouri Extension agronomists have fielded a few inquiries from farmers around the state.
March is a month of forage anticipation. Even late "spring" calving is wrapping up. Lactating mama cows need the best nutrition of their reproductive cycle. And, if hay supply is to become sparse or run out, this is the month to turn out to pastures.
After being forgotten in the wake of developing tall fescues, meadow fescue is staging a comeback for pasture grazing. "The grass has great potential for grazing-based livestock operations, where it's adapted," says Geoffrey Brink, research agronomist at the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, Wis.
Potato leafhopper is a tiny insect that can feed on leaves of alfalfa plants, lowering both yield and quality of forage. Leafhopper populations don't typically build up to damaging levels during the first crop in Iowa. But after you harvest that first cutting, keep an eye out for signs of this pest.
Many beef cow-calf and dairy producers overlook one of the most economical feed sources that's readily available.
Three things brought Peter Gaul to southeast Missouri: soil, water and climate. The New Zealand native says this trifecta makes a large-scale, forage-based seasonal dairy successful.
Native grasses that have proven themselves suitable to the Shackelford County, Texas, environment are the backbone for cattle and wildlife on the Merrick Davis Ranch, operated by H&M Cattle Co.

Duluth >Food & Dining > Grandma Saloon & Grill
522 S Lake Ave, Duluth, MN | Directions 5580246.779714 -92.093389
Neighborhoods: Downtown Duluth
SO-SO – This place I have to say is fun. I recommend going at least once!! Yes its busy and the seating time is always a wait.. But The Scooner Sundaes are huge and delicious the food is pretty good, mostly average depending on what you order! But I think its the atmosphere that attracts people.. Its by the pier and its always fun there!! Yes sometimes you dont always get the best service from your waiter. It really depends on their mood! sometimes you can get the funnest one! So at least go and try it! I always go back when Im in Duluth!
Painfully Average – I'm not sure why this place is such an attraction. The food is average at best. The burgers are greasy, the steak gristly, and everything is expensive. I guess if you really need to stop in and check the place out, just sit at the bar and have a couple of drinks. Try the Lake Superior brand beers that they usually have. Kids might like looking at all the decor on the walls, but every restaurant has junk on the walls now.
Great food, Great history – When living in Duluth, or just visiting Grandma's Saloon and Grill is a must stop. The decor is wonderful and the service is top notch. You can fill your stomach with anything from burgers to pastas. For a burger, try the Bicycle burger, or for the spicier fare enjoy the cajun chicken fettucini. You can also enjoy any drink you can think of. For appetizers try the stuffed mushrooms or the wing ring combo.
Crowds cram into this noisy, bustling bar for its yummy food even on weeknights. – The Scene
There are towering displays of beer, wine and liquor bottles. Signs, posters and paraphernalia occupy the windows, walls and bathroom stalls. It's got a hopping bar and a menu that's as heterogeneous as the decor. This famous place, which sponsors its namesake marathon, is almost a cliched must-stop for Twin Citians making a Lake Superior pilgrimage.
The Food
Some people never get beyond the deep-fried appetizers, but this restaurant actually has a huge menu with lots of goodies. A dozen sandwich choices include a triple-decker Monte Cristo and Dante's Inferno. Pastas and salads abound: spaghetti and meatballs, Oriental chicken salad, and chicken and wild rice salad with creamy pepper dressing. The messy, double-patty bicycle burger is topped with grilled onions, mushrooms and three cheeses. Steaks, ribs and seafood also are featured.
Not Happy With Service – 5 of us went here to eat one weekday for lunch, 3 adults, 2 children. The waitress was t obusy with other tables to realize we were even there to take a drink order for about 10-15 mins. After we finally got our drinks and were ready to order we did...the food came 45 minutes later, some of the food was cold, some was over-cooked and one meal was not right at all. The waitress did not return for another 20 mins and then wanted to know if we wanted new meals....which we didnt, we were there for lunch not dinner. She then TOOK the wrong meal, w/o offering something different or such and the ONLY thing they did was take the meal off the bill.
Will not go there AGAIN!
No big deal... – Don't get me wrong, food is good, service is good as well, but there is nothing special about this place what-so-ever... But to call it romantic! Huh? I don't see that at all... Next time I go to Duluth I will probably skip this place and treat it more like the bar that it is and go someplace else for lunch or dinner. I know Duluth is known for it's Grandma's restaurants, but it's nothing more than a TGI Friday's or Applebee's type restaurant.
Romantic and Family – The environment of Grandma's make you feel at home, while have a fun feeling. The wait staff are friendly and poliet. The food is so wonderful, you don't want to waste any of it, yet the portions are LARGE!!!! Recommend the pizza, salad, and all desserts!!!

Democrats are working on several proposals to put veterans to work, but Republicans have refused to schedule them for a vote in the House. While the House has passed a veterans retraining bill, more must be done to address the nearly 12 percent unemployment rate for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
After their service to our country, we have an obligation to make sure our veterans have the tools necessary to navigate this difficult labor market and succeed in the civilian workforce. We support several plans to:
- provide tax credits for hiring veterans looking for work,
- strengthen much-needed training programs for separating servicemembers,
- encourage businesses and government contractors to hire the brave men and women who have developed valuable skills and professionalism while in the armed forces, and
- ensure that servicemembers leave the military career-ready.
President's American Jobs Act
- Provides a new Returning Heroes Tax Credit of up to $5,600 for veterans who have been unemployed six months or longer, and doubles the Wounded Warriors Tax Credit to $9,600 for firms that hire veterans with service-connected disabilities who have been unemployed six months or longer. This builds on the $2,400 tax credit for hiring unemployed veterans in the Recovery Act that expired at the end of 2010.
- Establishes a Department of Defense-led task force to maximize the career-readiness of all servicemembers, and enhances job search services through the Department of Labor for recently transitioning veterans.
- The President has also put forward two new initiatives to create jobs for veterans -- challenging Community Health Centers to hire 8,000 veterans over the next three years and helping veterans who were military medics to become physician assistants by giving priority in HHS physician assistant training grants to universities and colleges that help train veterans.
Hiring Heroes Act (H.R. 1941, Rep. Sanford Bishop)
This bill authorizes ongoing services we are providing and makes certain improvements in current programs for veterans.
- Modifies federal hiring practices to encourage the hiring of separating servicemembers and would allow servicemembers to begin the federal employment hiring process prior to separation;
- Makes participation in the Transition Assistance Program mandatory for separating servicemembers and requires that each servicemember receive an individualized assessment of jobs they may qualify for;
- Requires the Department of Labor (DoL) to engage with each veteran periodically to determine whether the veteran is employed and whether the veteran might be interested in further assistance;
- Continues a program that provides rehabilitation and vocational benefits to severely wounded members of the armed forces;
- Provides up to an additional 24 months of vocational rehabilitation and employment services to veterans who have exhausted both these benefits and state-provided unemployment benefits;
- Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to engage with each veteran who has participated in its Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program periodically to determine whether the veteran is employed.
This bill also authorizes new programs aimed at improving the transition from servicemember to civilian employee.
- Creates a competitive grant program for nonprofit organizations that provide mentorship and job training programs that are designed to lead to job placements for veterans;
- Allows DoD to create a pilot program to provide paid work experience with civilian employees and contractors to facilitate the transition for servicemembers who are 180 days from separating; and
- Takes initial steps to help skilled veterans get certified or licensed for civilian jobs:
- Requires the Department of Defense (DoD), DoL, and VA to jointly contract for a study to identify the equivalencies between certain military occupational specialty (MOS)-related skills and civilian employment;
- Requires DoL, DoD, and VA collaborate to eliminate barriers between military training and civilian licensure or credentialing for several military occupational specialties.
Veterans Facing Unique Barriers to Finding Employment
Veterans are disciplined, skilled, team players, yet they still face difficulty when applying for employment.
- In September, the unemployment rate for returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans was a staggering 11.7 percent, leaving 235,000 veterans struggling to find jobs after the most severe economic recession since the Depression. And younger returning veterans (18 to 24) are facing an even more difficult challenge with more than one in five out of work and looking for a job last year.
- Overall, the unemployment rate for this group of veterans has remained high - we cannot afford to leave them behind.
- As the Iraq War responsibly winds down and servicemembers continue to separate from the military, the problem of veteran unemployment could grow larger.
- Helping veterans find employment when they come home is only right given their service to the nation. It also provides an income to support their families and is critical to a successful transition back to civilian life.

Greek way of cooking Calamari, done in a tomato and white wine sauce, it is called "Kokinisto" and is light and nice to eat either on its own or over rice (white or brown) or mashSubmitted by: AGAPISEME
Submitted by: FREDDYFERRET
Submitted by: RACROBIN
If you like conch chowder, try this version using calamari. It is thick and hearty with robust seafood flavour and just enough spiciness to tickle the tongue. This recipe calls for both the squid tubes and tentacles, but if you don't care for the tentacles, simply use an equal amount of the body instead. This method adds the squid rings last so they remain tender with little cooking.Submitted by: JO_JO_BA

Tasty and filling salad which is very popular in Austrlian restaurants. Calamari is so much better when it is sauted instead of deep-fried!Submitted by: KALEXIAS
It's very important for this recipe to have really nice tomatoes, very fresh and good quality parsley and is nicer with larger , thicker calamari tubesNOTE :- To peel a tomato boil enough water to cover a tomato. With a knife cut a cross on the bottom of the tomato, then place tomato in the boiling water for 1 minute. Put the tomato straight into cold water to stop it from cooking. This makes the skin much easier to pull of the tomato.Submitted by: BIGEARS2

I've known several Nathaniels in college. One was one of my best friends, a really kind and fun guy. Another was a computer geek. Another was into sports.
Like dindlee said, I wouldn't let someone's own personal issues with a name stop you from using it. It's a great, classic name. Maybe your Nathaniel will finally change his perception. It's not like you'd be naming your kid Lucifer or anything like that.
Personally, I've had an issue with the name Paul. All the Pauls I've known have been nasty people. But I still know it's a great classic name and I wouldn't automatically judge someone negatively upon first meeting them if they had the name Paul.

I've only known one and he was super nice.
I think it's kind of funny to judge a name based on the collective personality of others with that name.
I can totally understand if a name is soured for you by it reminding you of a not very nice person, but I hardly think that the name is the problem if you happen to know of a handful of mean guys who bear the name. Seems like basing a choice on coincidence and hearsay.Livy/Lucy : Geneva/Gwen : Coralie/Alice : Noelle/Eve

Six different Wolverines scored touchdowns as the hosts built a 28-0 first-quarter lead and led 42-0 at the half en route to a 56-0 drubbing.
The win marked No. 40 in a row for Truckee, a streak that ranks fourth in the nation in 11-man high school football. The Wolverines are now 4-0 on the season while the Railroaders fell to 0-5.
"It seemed like anything and everything we were calling early was working," said Truckee head coach Bob Shaffer. "I credit the team, because they could have taken this game lightly. But the second half of the year we face some good teams, so we had to get better."
Behind the accurate passing of senior quarterback Erik Holmer, the Wolverines found the end zone on six of their seven possessions of the first half, needing four plays or fewer to score each touchdown. They scored on pass plays of 42 and 40 yards, both to senior tight end Zak Pettit, and runs of 48, 4, 27 and 29 yards, the final two by Graham Christian.
Holmer, playing with a mostly healed dislocated thumb on his throwing hand, completed 8 of his 10 passes in the first half for 155 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. Junior backup Louden Smith was 2-for-2 in the game for 59 yards, including a 40-yard TD strike to Pettit in the first half.
"We kind of knew we wanted to work more on our passing game early, because we weren't sure how long we were going to be able to do that, and we needed to work on it. And I thought our offense was very efficient," said Shaffer, whose team ran a total of only 19 offensive plays in the first half.
In the second half, Truckee senior Javier Virrey scored on a 7-yard run late in the third quarter. Senior Jake Pettit, playing his first game of the season coming off a knee injury, intercepted a pass and returned it 35 yards on the first play of the fourth quarter to round out the scoring. Smith converted his eighth PAT of the day to extend the score to the final margin.
Senior quarterback Geo Vasquez and the Railroaders came out throwing the ball often. But they had only marginal success against Truckee's defense, which has allowed just 21 points through four games. Vasquez threw 32 passes, completing 17 for 116 yards, but with three interceptions.
"They have a third-year starting quarterback, so we knew they would throw the ball, and we needed that," Shaffer said. "We needed to see a veteran quarterback."
Truckee held the Sparks running game to 34 yards on 34 carries, led by Nick Vandever's 30 yards on 14 touches. The Railroaders managed just 13 rushing yards on 21 attempts in the first half, while Vasquez was 10-of-19 for 70 yards through the first two quarters, with two picks.
"There were some positives. We were able to get some first downs on offense," Sparks coach Rob Kittrell said. "We got over the 50 a couple times. Unfortunately, we didn't score. It was probably the first time in a while that we didn't give up any special teams touchdowns or any punt blocks and punt returns for a touchdown. Truckee usually seems to get one or two big special teams plays."
Truckee's Tyler Curtis also scored on a 48-yard run in the first half, and Tyler Griffin scored from 4 yards out.
Sparks heads to Fallon Friday night.

Coffee Mugs, Set of 4
Naturewood is a study of botanical beauty that is rendered in a soft, natural color palette. A series of framed potted herbs are interspersed with detailed sketches of leaves, and delicate stripes and accents of garden elements decorate the wide selection of accessories. This mug is perfect for sipping your morning coffee or drinking some afternoon tea. Also makes a perfect gift when filled with gourmet coffee, flavored teas or tickets to a concert or play. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Set of 4 coffee mugs, each holds 12 ounce.

Rated 5 out of 5 by maryhubMT The design of your dishware is so attractive! Your dishware is so nice and I am completely pleased with my order of the Naturewood pattern mugs. The quality is so nice and the pattern is so attractive and goes with other dishware I have....I like to mix this pattern with other colors of dishes I have! I love a pretty-set table! Thank you...I will be ordering again in the near future! January 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Susieq Disappointed mug set was not same colors as original set. I was disappointed the set of mugs were very light in colors, really did not match my set of dishes and older mugs I already own. I do not want to go to the trouble of paying to ship them back, so we will use them as is. They just look very faded, next to my set of dishes. April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carolyn I really like these mugs for the beauty and convenience. These mugs are much easier to use than cups and saucers. They match perfectly with the Naturewood I already have. The weight of each cup is just right. December 2, 2012

Present at Ronda and Ascari Race Resort for the launch of Gran Turismo 6 was a camouflaged version of the yet-to-be-launched BMW M4 Coupé. The stunning new car – shown publicly only as a concept until now – will go on sale in 2014. Thanks to an innovative collaboration with BMW "M" GmbH, Polyphony Digital enjoyed unprecedented early access to the car during its development phase in order to meticulously recreate the M4 Coupé for Gran Turismo 6. It will be made available through a free update shortly after the release of GT6, allowing car enthusiasts around the world to drive it before it arrives in BMW showrooms. More news on the unveiling is expected soon!
Here is the game's creator Kazunori Yamauchi with the … CONTINUED
In a recent interview (read at http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho…d.php?t=915648) with the M division chief engineer, Albert Biermann, the article lists various performance characteristics of the car.
The speed and fuel consumption numbers are metric based in the article and when they are converted to the English system they come out 26 MPG and a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds.
While the term (est) is thrown in next to them, the fact the numbers come from the head man means to me they are reasonably accurate.
The BMW M4 Concept has been making the rounds at many venues, beginning with its debut at the Pebble Beach week three months ago.
It's now making its auto show premiere at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, the only auto show that it will be making an appearance. That's because the next major auto show – the 2014 Detroit NAIAS in January will feature the dual world premieres of the production 2014 M3 (F80) and 2014 M4 (F82).
What will the production models bring? The M4 Coupe will essentially retain its concept form (minus some of the fancier carbon fiber add-ons), while the M3 Sedan will look just like the recently spotted Yas Marina Blue M3.
Final performance figures and specs will be revealed at Detroit and … CONTINUED
Picked up German magazine Sport Auto today. It features an interview with BMW M development chief Albert Biermann and a ride in the M4 with Biermann driving.
This is my translation of the major parts of this article. My apologies for bad sentences or missed meanings (I have tried my best from a hotel room after a long day at work…):
Have a listen at the F80 M3 with its bi-turbo s55 inline 6 cylinder engine and exhaust during a cold start.
This M3 sounds a bit 'off', particularly during idle, so perhaps the exhaust is still being tuned on this car or the recording device has distorted the actual sound. The M3/M4 has sounded better in previous videos (reposted below).
Some sites have been reporting the above image as a leaked official photo, but as you can see below, it's simply a photoshopped image of an official wallpaper image of the 435i Convertible (source) using styling elements from the M4 Concept. Hence the oddly angled front wheel.
The real M4 convertible should not be much different than the photoshopped image however, as it will share exterior styling with the production M4 Coupe, which will adopt its styling from the M4 Concept.
We recently revealed to you the colors for the upcoming 2014 M3/M4 via the dealer demo order guide, which reveals several eye catching colors, including Austin Yellow Metallic, Yas Marina Blue Metallic and Sakhir Orange Metallic.
Austin Yellow Metallic has already been previewed by way of the M4 Concept car (painted in Aurum Dust) and we recently posted the first look and swatches of Yas Marina Blue.
Now have a good look at how the M4 Coupe looks in Sakhir Orange Metallic, seen here with the optional M Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
Sakhir Orange is also a standard color for the F10 M5. For more views of how the color looks under different lighting, see our F10 M5 Sakhir Orange Thread.
Here is a preview peek at the Austin Yellow color for the upcoming F80 M3 and F82 M4.
As you can see, it's basically the production version of the M4 Concept's Aurum Dust color.
A 2014 M3 and M4 Order Guide has just been released to U.S. dealers for the ordering of dealer demo launch cars. As before, this list should generally be reflective of what options will be available for customer cars, though it may not be all-inclusive.
300 – Alpine White

Inadequate, crowded, or too costly housing can pose serious problems to children's physical, psychological, and material well-being.69, 70 Housing cost burdens, especially at high levels, are a risk factor for negative outcomes for children, including homelessness, overcrowding, poor nutrition, frequent moving, and lack of supervision while parents are at work.71, 72 The percentage of households with children that report that they are living in physically inadequate,73 crowded, or costly housing provides insight into the impact that the post-recessionary economy and housing markets have on housing choices and childrens' well-being.
Indicator Phy5: Percentage of households with children ages 0–17 that reported housing problems by type of problem, selected years 1978–2011
NOTE: Data are available for 1978, 1983, 1989, and biennially since 1993. All data are weighted using the decennial Census that preceded the date of their collection.

75 For the housing problems indicator, the statistical significance of differences from year to year is determined at the 0.05 level of probability using standard methods. However, these methods only approximate whether changes are significant because they do not fully account for the panel design of the American Housing Survey, in which selected housing units are revisited in subsequent years and therefore produce nonindependent samples.
76 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development considers renter households to have "priority" housing problems if they have eligible incomes for, but do not receive, rental assistance, and they report either severe housing cost burdens or severe physical problems with their housing units. Because of questionnaire changes, data after 1997 on assisted families, priority problems, and severe physical problems are not comparable to earlier data.
77 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines "very-low-income renters" as renter households with incomes at or below half the median family income, adjusted for family size, within their geographic area.
78 The estimate is based on a count of persons who, during a single night in January, were either using an emergency shelter or transitional housing services, or were on the street or other place not intended for human habitation. Homeless service providers in the Continuum of Care network are required to conduct such counts as a condition of funding. The estimate has the limitation of relying on several assumptions about the comparability of sheltered and unsheltered populations and families.

text: My husband was without work for about three months this year despite many resumes sent out and contacts made. I know he is not alone in that. Thankfully about two weeks ago he found a nice full time job here in our tiny little town that pays the bills and buys food without requiring a big commute. I took on a babysitting job and it's that money I am using for replenishing our supply. I have added in household supplies I've seen on sale like an extra pack of soap and an extra bottle of shampoo. I will be buying extra quilts etc to try and keep our heat bill down. I also bought a nice dutch oven in case of lack of power so I can still cook food plus I've always wanted one to take camping. So while I am doing this all more quickly than normal it's not stuff I don't normally do, I just like to be prepared for possible emergencies like power outage, higher food prices and job loss.

Several Starbucks throughout Boston are testing wireless phone-charging solutions designed by Duracell Powermat. The coffee chain will test eight stations in 17 cafes for a limited time, according to Boston.com, which recently interviewed Starbucks Chief Digital Officer Adam Brotman.
"We're building the Powermat technology into some of the tabletops, just to get a sense for how our customers will react, compared to having to plug their mobile devices into the wall," he said in the story.
Starbucks rolled out free WiFi to all stores in 2010, and may eventually offer the charging stations at every café. Although the chain hasn't yet made a final decision, Brotman told Boston.com that "customers are coming into our stores every day with mobile devices, and putting them down on the table. If they could be charging their device at the same time, then we've connected with that customer and met their need, maybe even before they realized they had a need for wireless charging."

Atmospheric rivers are the source of 30-50 percent of precipitation along the U.S. West Coast, and they are a major driver of the region's most serious floods. But the events are also called "drought busters" because, as these maps from 2010 show, just one or two storms can help replenish the water system during dry spells.

(VIDEO) Visualizing data makes it easier to understand exactly how an extreme weather event affected people's lives, livelihoods, and property and how those things could be affected in the future. Knowing how to access and analyze the wide variety of datasets needed to study those events can be a challenge, however. NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolkit makes the job easier.
A lack of snow covering the harsh terrain of the Iditarod this March made the 2014 race especially challenging, and many mushers pulled out of the race due to injuries and broken sleds.
A few storms found their way to the drought-stricken California coast late this winter, but they barely made a dent in the state's huge water deficits. As the North Pacific winter storm season recedes, there is little likelihood for substantial drought recovery.

Staff travel: Carshare cuts carbon
Sustainability case study
Over 76,500 people work at Heathrow. That's a lot of journeys to and from work every day - many by car.
We recognise that commuting by car clogs up roads, while exhaust fumes affect local air quality and contribute to climate change, because burning petrol and diesel releases nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Our Carshare scheme gives Heathrow staff the chance to commute together - saving money and cutting carbon and congestion. It is open to everyone employed at the airport.
The scheme has been running since 2002 and we relaunched it in 2009 in partnership with liftshare, by far the UK's largest car share network. It is part of a wider plan to revamp travel to and from Heathrow that cut the number of solo car journeys by employees from 71% in 2004 to 61% in 2010.
It's easy to join, either online or by telephone. Users register their home location and working hours, and the system automatically identifies any matches with people who live in the same neighbourhood and commute at the same time of day. There's a good chance that members will find someone who lives in their area and wants to car share, because almost half of Heathrow staff come from just five local authorities around the airport.
Over 3,400 people have signed up since we launched the scheme in 2002. Around 200 new members are now joining every month, thanks to our poster campaign advertising the scheme in staff rest rooms and canteens.
Members save money because car sharing halves the cost of petrol. As a reward for taking part, they can also use priority parking bays in several airport car parks, obtain discounted breakdown cover, and get a lift home free of charge if their car does break down.
Since its relaunch in July 2009, Carshare helped its members drive over 19 million fewer miles, saving nearly 6,500 tonnes of CO2.

Comments about Bell BLACKBURN Air Tower 3 Bike Pump - 160 psi:
Works well on our bike's Schrader valve stems. Disconnects quickly. The two step lever position, first for wider Schrader and then 2nd step for Presta is a good design. Purchased another brand first that had one lever position for both. However that over compressed the head connection for our wider Schrader valves and wouldn't disconnect immediately, sticking, causing loss of air below targeted inflation pressure. The Air Tower design seems to fix that issue. Only nuisance is each stoke of the pump seems to only increase the air pressure by 5 pounds. Not a problem though.

Mickey Hart: At The EdgeAs producer of The World, Mickey Hart's personal odyssey into the spirit of percussion, he showcases some of the most dynamic, yet sublime music of our planet. On At The Edge he combines these ancient techniques and instruments with the most modern of recording technology to explore the outer limits of drumming. The companion piece to his first book, this album is a chronicle of Hart's search for the rhythmic beginnings of music, for the primal pulse that has beaten under every human activity -- all celebrations, rites of passage, wars, shamanic rituals -- in every culture since time immemorial. Exploring the primeval instrumentation of man's earliest sonic expression, the 'instruments that have made it through time,' Hart tuned the percussive rudiments of whistles and gourd rattles, wooden rainsticks and slit gongs, panpipes and bells, using state-of-the-art spatial reverberation and electronic processing. Acoustic natural sounds (wind, thunder, rain, insects, recorded with close-microphone technique outside his mountain home) were mixed, enabling Hart to create the environment for 'an ancient future, allowing us to go back in time, recreating a more silent space.'
At The Edge is a journey to the Edge, 'between the old and the new...rhythm and noise, just as much as between imagination and reality, nature and music, or creation and destruction.' An exquisitely peaceful soundscape evolves from a world before the presence of man ('#4 for Gaia') through quickening rhythms of human activity to the final sonorous swirl of chanting voices ('Pigs in Space') in a silence devoid of nature, a silence of Man at the Edge he has reached. Where, for our world to survive, we must change rhythms. And dance. One of Mickey Hart's most atmospheric albums, At The Edge, from 1990, features Jerry Garcia, Babatunde Olatunji, Airto Moreira, and Zakir Hussain. Learn More$15.99
Mickey Hart: Mystery BoxThis 1998 album continues the polyrhythmic approach of Planet Drum and features many of the same players, including Zakir Hussain, Babatunde Olatunji, Airto Moreira and Giovanni Hidalgo.
For Mickey Hart's Mystery Box, Mickey Hart set out to do one thing: to give voice to the drum. Hart crafted songs from the rhythmic foundation up, and that meant not just the beat, but the melody. To find the roots of these melodies, Mickey laid down the basic grooves with Planet Drum partners Zakir Hussain and Giovanni Hidalgo, and then turned to longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter to complete the story with words.
The voices, the last fundamental element of Hart's vision appeared in the form of the Mint Juleps, a remarkable a cappella group from Great Britain. Over the next two years, in between Grateful Dead tours, Mickey continued to refine the grooves, bringing in at various times such players as Airto, former Tower Of Power drummer David Garibaldi, Sikiru, and Youssou N'Dour's bass player, Habib Faye.
While Hunter's words melded perfectly with Mickey's grooves, they really took flight when given voice by the Mint Juleps on songs that run the gamut. To help achieve the album's distinctive sound, Hart enlisted the services of co-producer Robin Millar, who has crafted worldwide hits for the likes of Sade, Fine Young Cannibals and Kate Bush. The collaboration was a fortunate one, resulting in the perfect marriage of ancient and modern, earthy and cosmopolitan — irresistible dance grooves wedded to soaring voices and profoundly affecting words.
